“...But seeing how few seats they managed to cram inside the plane is a good indication of why the Boeing 747 was able to put an early end to the Concorde’s career...”

You do know that the 747 was commercially available over 5 years before the Concorde? And that they both flew together (at least on British Airways and…

Go take some more college classes about how you should be ashamed of yourself for working hard and give away half of your income to those who didn’t because they weren’t raised to work hard.

If you can’t dodge it... Ram it.

Nobody found anything you posted offensive, we just found you to be an asshole.

Just don't be an asshole?

I used to watch him on ESPN’s Thursday Night Thunder, which covered all the variations of short track Midget and Sprint racing. I never guessed he was almost me exact same age (He looks much older (; ) Those shows were a blast, maybe the last bit of national coverage of what was truly regional racing.

This isn't the wilds of the Internet, it's supposed to be a community of like-minded enthusiasts. I've disliked drivers before but I've never wished serious accident or injury on them.

You're kinda an asshole, yes?

Being a life long anti-fan of Gordon, even I was a bit choked up at that win. I kinda hope he wins the championship.

Ima go with a Lambo Countash. Pretty sure every kid of the 80’s had one of these on their bedroom wall:

Plus, girls love that car.

Maybe because the SS is better? At that price you can get the fantastic mag riding suspension in the SS which makes it ride fucking amazing compared to any charger you could buy near that price.

Charger doesn’t come in manual...

I love the SS in that green color. To be fair, I don’t think GM genuinely wants to sell it. As you know, they’re winding down production at their Holden factory in Australia. The SS probably only exists because of some agreement GM has with the Australians to maintain a certain level of capacity there. GM would much…

Careful. Tesla fan boys might electrocute you for saying this

As a Gordon fan, I don't want to see Kyle, Kevin, or either Penske car. Then and only then would I feel good about his chances as that leaves Kurt, Martin and Carl who haven't really done much this year or for several races. I'll be listening either way though.

I hate to agree, but I do. This is why in my area, only non-car people drive them. You can tell by the lack of window tint on a SoCal car.

Awww, you thought it was cool at one point, cute.

Wasn't really cool to begin with.

What a weird biography of a man I had no interest in learning about, but greatly fascinated me when reading about him. Really good long read Shaun and totally unexpected from Deadspin. You briefly mention Oscar Bonavena. He’s someone who also had an interesting life that would make a great long read.
